Physical appearance

It resembles a huge gorilla beast with purple fur, glowing green eyes, an upright posture, and sharp fangs. It has large claws on its hands, that it often used to abduct people. It does not bear resemblance to a real Chupacabra, although that might be because the Americans who made the costume didn't know what it looked like. This wouldn't explain why locals called it El Chupacabra though.

History

Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico

It first appears at the plaza, where it nearly captures Alejo's son and his dog, Chiquita, but they are saved by Alejo himself. It later spooks Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo when they were trying to sleep, but it was scared away when more people came.

The gang finally meet it in the forest, where it chases them, and they manage to lose it. It appears last in the graveyard, at the day of the dead, where it was unmasked as the Museum guide, then Charlene.

Appearances

Notes/trivia

The word Chupacabra means "goat sucker" (it not only kills sheep and goats, but also chickens).

It was also seen in a special feature on the Scooby-Doo! And The Loch Ness MonsterDVD where Kid Y shows a Chupacabra that looked like a giant bat and was one of his friends. A picture of the Chupacabra from the Monster of Mexico version was in Kid Y's house.

Instead of using a real life reptilian version of the Chupacabra, they made its version like Bigfoot.

During the film, most children say it looks like a gorilla, bear, or alien (although in real life it is said that the Chupacabra looks like an alien).

It's possible that Mr. Smiley briefly dressed up as the monster to fake kidnap his girlfriend Charlene.

In the trailer, Shaggy Rogers asked what does Chupacabra mean in English, but wasn't revealed in the movie.
